My name is Calla Lind. For 20 years, I have lived within the shadow of my beautiful older sister - chasing and holding onto an illusion of love. A love that will never belong to me... Now with this second chance of life, I won't chase after illusion. I won't rely on someone else for happiness. I will do what I want, enjoy what I do, and learn to let go.

This is my original story so... as the saying goes "if you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all".

Note: The english and extended version. Veronica, the Duchess of Audovera, was renowned as the most breathtaking woman in the kingdom, but her beauty was matched only by her reputation for arrogance and indulgence. Her life had always been one of luxury and excess-until the day her husband, the Duke, left for war. It was then, amidst the emptiness of their grand estate, that something within her stirred. Memories of another life flooded her mind, revealing a shocking truth: she had reincarnated into the body of the villainess from a fantasy-romance novel she once read. The plot was clear, and her fate was sealed. Her husband, the Duke-the novel's male protagonist-would soon fall in love with the saintess he met during the war. Upon his return, he would demand a divorce, casting Veronica aside. But the story didn't stop there. Left to stew in her bitterness, the villainess would meet a tragic end at his hands. But this Veronica was different. Armed with knowledge of the story's events, she resolved to take a different path. She would play her role with grace, sign the divorce papers without a fight, and step out of the limelight. Peace, freedom, and a quiet life were her new goals. Three years passed. The war ended, and the Duke returned. Veronica, prepared for her fate, was ready with her pen poised over the divorce papers. Yet, to her growing confusion, the Duke didn't say a word about separation. His eyes, once cold and distant, now lingered on her with an intensity she didn't recognize. "Why hasn't he asked for a divorce?" she wondered, her perfectly laid plans beginning to crumble. As she grapples with her husband's inexplicable behavior, Veronica must navigate a new and unpredictable future. Can she successfully avoid the villainess's doomed path, or is she destined to play a different role altogether?

"Hahh." A deep sigh escaped Namae's mouth as soon as she realized that she got transmigrated inside that crazy book she just read earlier. The story was about four notorious CEO (tyrants) who fell in love with the same woman. In terms of japanese, they are what others call as 'yandere male leads.' Of course, since everyone loves a crazy romance with the heroine on spotlight, the readers really enjoyed the story. While Namae on the other hand... She was on a tight spot. In a worse spot she might add. She just became the colleague a.k.a. the mob character who died after acting close with the heroine. "Ahh... damn it. Please no- urghh..." Namae groaned in distress. She only wanted to have a good rest for once in her entire life. *** Best rankings so far: #1 money #1 psychological #1 femalelead #1 reincarnation #1 killing #1 obsessed #1 gore #2 yandere #2 ceo #2 harem #5 complete #6 novel Started: August 7, 2021 Finished: October 30, 2021 Note: -This book contains foul language. -MC is a money-loving, greedy, and avaricious person. -Credits to @XYSHII for making the lovely cover<3 -Story is originally mine, not a translation or copy from any other book.

This is about a girl who was reincarnated as the villainess in an otome game. But she doesn't care, at all. Shall we continue to ignore the heroine and her love interests?

Imagine, just for a second, let's imagine you end up somehow travelling into your favourite book. Then you started working your magic and you cosy up to the male lead who was supposed to get you killed or you make the demon lord fall in love with you so he can protect you from your imminent death. And woah you got your happy ending. But now let's imagine a completely different scenario where you end up in a book you read like 10 pages of (including the ending). And you find yourself literally dropped into the lap of a psychopathic rival who enjoys just a teeny bit of bloodshed. He's also the guy who killed your favourite character and not to mention you. But then you hold on for a second because you realise you're not dead and he wants to use you as an immortal tool to sharpen his aim. Well that's the story I ended up living in. And I've got one request from Mr. Villain over there, please spare me!

Synopsis: Zerhica grew up in a wealthy household where comfort was never a concern, but love and recognition always were. Despite having everything she could possibly need, all she ever longed for was her parents' approval. Constantly overshadowed by her two older sisters-both admired for their beauty and talent-Zerhica was always seen as the least impressive, the last choice in a family obsessed with perfection. Desperate to be seen and valued, she spent her life trying to please everyone around her, giving endlessly until she had nothing left to give. By the time she realized her worth had been stripped away piece by piece, it was already too late. Then one day, Zerhica wakes up and finds herself back in the past-staring at her 17-year-old reflection in the mirror, in the very room she once called home. Armed with memories of the future she once lived and the tragedy that followed, Zerhica is given a second chance. But changing fate is never simple. Will she be able to rewrite her cruel destiny, or is history destined to repeat itself no matter what she does? And as she begins to alter the course of her life, a mysterious man named Miharo appears-someone she has never met before, someone who was never part of her past life. His presence becomes a turning point she never anticipated, intertwining his fate with hers in ways she cannot yet understand. Will this second chance lead Zerhica toward salvation... or a different kind of ruin? *** Language: English Inspired by the novel: Rebirth of Fa Wei Lan by HARUI30 Book cover art from: the manga 'yi chui wu yue tiao man ji'
